WHOLE ROASTED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a food processor, puree 1/2 of one of the onions, grainy mustard, marmalade, butter, salt and pepper.
• Place the pork roast (it can be tied or untied) in a roasting pan and slather with the mustard glaze.
• Slice the remaining onions and arrange, along with the pears, orange and fresh herbs, around the pork loin.
• Roast uncovered for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F, roasting for about 75 minutes, until an internal temperature of 175 degrees F is reached.
• Remove the roast from the pan and let rest on a cutting board or platter for 15 minutes before slicing.
• For the sauce, remove the orange segments, thyme and sage sprigs, and discard.
• Place the pan over medium heat and add the white wine, stirring to pull up any caramelized bits for the bottom of the pan.
• Add the chicken stock and sage and simmer until reduced by half.
• Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cold butter just until melted.
• Season to taste and serve beside slices of the roast pork.
